Janice was a woman who was ahead of her time. She was a graduate of The University of Wisconsin with a Bachelor's Degree in English.

She started out as a manager of Housekeeping at The Belmont Hotel and accomplished working her way up to President of IRMCO. She had a way with words for every business situation. Janice was also known for her iconic red glasses. She was someone who lived life to the fullest. One of her many stories included how she was in the audience at The Gate of Horn Nightclub in 1962 when Lenny Bruce was arrested. She also had the amazing opportunity to see Frank Sinatra at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida in 1958. Janice loved international travel, especially Africa. She visited Africa numerous times. She loved animals - lions, tigers, giraffes, and especially elephants. She lived across from The Lincoln Park Zoo for many years, and served on their board. In her 80's, she even went hang gliding. She enjoyed an adopted new family at the age of 85, and loved all of their gatherings - all holidays, dinners, and times to share stories and laughter. She was known for driving to work 3 blocks away in her Volkswagen Bug or her Mercedes convertible. She will be greatly missed.
